Hey Job Seekers, it’s time to ditch the “responsible for,” “duties included,” “familiar with,” “knowledgeable in,” and “worked with” stuff.

It’s a waste of valuable resume space that you can use to communicate your accomplishments and what you achieved.

Here are some of my favorites:

Accelerated
Achieved
Captured
Conceived
Designed
Created
Imagined
Reengineered
Revitalized
Spearheaded
Structured
Negotiated
Implemented
Automated

Which ones would you add to the list?
